LaserFest to Celebrate 50 Years of Laser InnovationThe APS has joined with the Optical Society of America (OSA) to plan LaserFest, a multi-year series of events and activities centered around 2010 as the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the laser invention in 1960.

The National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island in New York State has provided extraordinary opportunities for researchers from industry and universities to push the technological envelope and probe scientific frontiers.
